Ox: 13th, 27th

Dragon: 1st, 16th

Ostentatious, inspiring, and a flair for the dramatic—”Dragons are very dazzling and creative,” Smith says. In Chinese culture and legends, dragons are a highly revered creature. Although they’re already held in high regard, Dragons can expect their lucky days to deliver the chance to prosper in their professional life.

Snake: 1st, 23rd

The antisocial Snake can use their auspicious days to develop personal relationships—a boon, considering Snakes like to “live by their own rules,” explains Smith. These two days offer an opportunity to grow and step into the spotlight to experience the kind of positivity and optimism they often lack.

Horse: 5th, 20th

According to Smith, horses are creatures that are “part of the human landscape,” having played a huge part in humanity’s development and prosperity. Smith also says they are connected to the element of fire, so they can be very lively and enduring. That is why their hard work and power will be recognized on these particular days.

Sheep (Goat): 7th, 30th

On these days, the gentle and kind sheep zodiac signs will find themselves in even deeper harmony with the world around them. Their relationships will blossom and their quiet dignity will be embraced by others.

Monkey: 4th, 14th

Monkeys can be zany, eccentric, and fun. Smith says. “The Monkey stirs things up and makes things happen.” On their luckiest days, they’ll make gains in their careers and social lives—plus they’ll get to be the center of attention.

Rooster: 4th, 26th

Much like Dragons, Roosters are flamboyant and independent. They are trendsetters and trailblazers who will see their success in business and their notoriety soar on their lucky days. Check out the seven things lucky people do that you don’t.
